Hello! I have a 2in1 reversible tablet with touchscreen and stylus, running fedora. My laptop runs EndeavourOS. both with wayland session.
I'd like to use my tablet as input method, in order to use the stylus on my laptop. I tried Weylus, and it is great for screen mirroring and casual clicks, but using the stylus (perhaps it's my wifi's fault) was way too laggy, almost unusable. Are there other tools, similar to this, that perhaps work with a usb cable or something like this? in order to speed things up. My tablet is very potato-ish, very slow at running apps and so, but once the apps are loaded they works fluently. both the laptop and the tablet runs KDE.

thanks in advance!

I can use KDE connect it to send mouse click event, but the stylus and the touchscreen doesn't seem to be supported. Am I missing something?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
